BACKGROUND
Undocumented immigration to the United States has grown dramatically over the past 25 years. This study explores undocumented status as a social determinant of occupational health by examining its perceived consequences on workplace safety of Latino immigrants.
METHODS
Guided by the Theory of Work Adjustment, qualitative analysis was conducted on transcripts from focus groups and individual interviews conducted with a convenience sample of Latino immigrant workers.
RESULTS
Participants reported that unauthorized status negatively impacted their safety at work and resulted in a degree of alienation that exceeded the specific proscriptions of the law. Participants overwhelming used a strategy of disengagement to cope with the challenges they face as undocumented immigrants.
CONCLUSION
This study describes the complex web of consequences resulting from undocumented status and its impact on occupational health. This study presents a framework connecting the daily work experiences of immigrants, the coping strategy of disengagement, and efforts to minimize the impact of structural violence.
背景
在过去25年里，美国的无证移民数量急剧增加。本研究通过考察无证身份对拉丁裔移民工作场所安全的感知影响，探讨其作为职业健康社会决定因素的情况。
方法
以工作适应理论为指导，对拉丁裔移民工人便利样本的焦点小组和个人访谈记录进行定性分析。
结果
参与者报告称，无证身份对他们的工作安全产生了负面影响，并导致了一定程度的疏离感，这种疏离感超出了法律的具体规定。参与者普遍采用脱离策略来应对他们作为无证移民所面临的挑战。
结论
本研究描述了无证身份所导致的复杂后果网络及其对职业健康的影响。本研究提出了一个框架，将移民的日常工作经历、脱离应对策略以及将结构性暴力影响降至最低的努力联系起来。
